Donald Trump is working frantically to clean up the mess that Rudy Giuliani left him, and he’s only digging himself into a deeper hole. Trump took to Twitter with a three-part tweet that is absolutely maniacal.
Last night, Giuliani contradicted Trump’s previous statement aboard Air Force One by stating that Trump had repaid Cohen the $130,000 hush payment.
Instead of taking his frustrations out on the former New York City Mayor, Trump wrote, “Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA.”
Check out the first part below:

Trump then claimed that the agreement “was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair.”

He concluded, “Prior to its violation by Ms. Clifford and her attorney, this was a private agreement. Money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll in this transaction.”
…despite already having signed a detailed letter admitting that there was no affair. Prior to its violation by Ms. Clifford and her attorney, this was a private agreement. Money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll in this transaction.

First off, Trump didn’t pen these tweets. It appears as though his attorneys drafted this statement for him. Secondly, Trump just completely changed his original story.
Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti said on MSNBC, “There may be potential campaign finance violations, felonies, there may, in fact, be money laundering issues, there may be bank fraud issues.”
He added, “I mean, this is a very, very serious matter that deserves the attention of the American people, regardless of your political persuasion, period.”
I’d like to make a prediction: Mueller is going to bring charges against Trump and his cronies in October right before the 2018 midterm elections, and democrats will have Trump impeached in early 2019. #MuellerTime
